Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Chapter 421 What is negotiation? Negotiation means asking for a high price and paying back the price!

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Minister Yang's frank words, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll say it directly!"

"First, I want not only the Yumen Oilfield, but also the 200-kilometer-wide land around the Laojun Temple in the Yumen Oilfield.

This piece of land will be incorporated into our Saibei Border Region and become an enclave of our Saibei Border Region. I will establish the Yumen Special District based on this land."

"Second, give me the position of commander-in-chief of the Gansu Province Security Force, as well as a designation for both the regular army and the temporary army."

"Third, appoint me as the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression campaign in the six northwestern provinces. I will be fully responsible for the bandit suppression efforts in the six northwestern provinces, as well as the organization of the bandit suppression group army."

Since the lion has asked for such a huge sum, Chu Feng will not be polite. What is the point of negotiation?

That means asking for a high price and paying back the real money!

In particular, the second and third conditions he proposed also revealed a message to the outside world, that is, his ambition for the six northwestern provinces.

Chu Feng certainly doesn't want to get involved in the six northwestern provinces now. Now is not the right time, but he wants to show it to put pressure on the government.

"hiss!!!"

Hearing Chu Feng's three conditions, Minister Yang couldn't help but take a breath, his eyes full of horror.

He thought Chu Feng would ask for a huge amount of money, but he didn't expect that his appetite would be so big.

Li Mingqiang on the side was also stunned. He did not expect Chu Feng to be so radical. His mouth opened subconsciously and he looked at Chu Feng in a daze.

"this!"

Minister Yang was stunned and didn't know how to start for a moment.

After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Minister Yang finally came to his senses and said, "General Chu, your conditions? Aren't they a bit harsh?"

"We're just giving you the Yumen Oilfield. Are these the only conditions you have?"

In response to Minister Yang's question, Chu Feng said calmly: "It's right that the Yumen Oilfield is given to me, but you are also aware of the domestic situation."

"The Yumen Oilfield is so far away from my Saibei border area. I spent tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of Saibei currency, to turn it into an oil base."

"And if someone tries to sabotage me, won't my investment be wasted?" Chu Feng said this as a matter of course, and Minister Yang almost believed it.

"General Chu, I think your worries are unnecessary!"

Minister Yang calmed himself down and looked at Chu Feng seriously, saying, "Who in the country doesn't know the combat effectiveness of your 1st Independent Army?"

"Who would be so foolish as to destroy your factories and bases?"

In response to Minister Yang's presentation of facts and reasoning, Chu Feng shook his head seriously and said, "Minister Yang, this is not a question of whether you dare or not."

"It's because the benefits haven't been met yet. Once the benefits are met, nothing is impossible."

"At worst, we can just run away after the destruction. Do you catch the person or do I?"

"The earth is so big. If they run away, who will compensate me for these losses?"

"So if you want to trade the Yumen Oilfield to me, you must give me enough means and ability to protect my property."

Chu Feng paused for a moment, then looked at Minister Yang and said, "If you think my conditions are too harsh, I can change them. The government must guarantee that if the Yumen Oilfield is damaged or attacked, all consequences and losses will be borne by the government."

As soon as Chu Feng said this, Minister Yang didn't even think about it and subconsciously blurted out a rebuttal: "That's impossible!"

"How is it impossible?"

Hearing Minister Yang's rebuttal, Chu Feng looked at Minister Yang and asked, "Don't you think my worry is unnecessary? If it's unnecessary, why don't you dare to guarantee it?"

"As long as you can guarantee this, I will never make any additional requests of you."

Minister Yang opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer Chu Feng's aggressive questioning.

He couldn't say that China was in such chaos, who could guarantee that no one would take risks for profit.

Also, even if no one takes the risk, if you, Chu Feng, embezzle the money, what can we do?

These words can only be thought about, not spoken out loud.

That’s too passive!

Minister Yang's brain was working frantically. He knew that Chu Feng's harsh condition must not be agreed to. Once agreed, it would definitely cause a huge chain reaction, especially in the six northwestern provinces.

They would not vent their anger on Chu Feng, because Chu Feng was truly connected with them. If they dared to say a word, Chu Feng would mobilize the army to attack.

Then we can only blame everything on the Kuomintang government, but the Kuomintang government did something dishonest in the first place. They had no legitimate reason and ended up being unpopular with both sides.

Minister Yang cannot agree to this condition and cannot let the National Government take the blame.

Because he was the one who negotiated this matter, once he agreed to it, he would definitely bear the brunt of it.

The experienced Minister Yang quickly came up with an idea. He looked at Chu Feng and said, "General Chu!"

"I understand your concerns, but your conditions are too harsh."

"To be precise, the direction is too obvious. Once it is announced, I'm afraid the entire six northwestern provinces will be plunged into unrest. This will affect our country's national anti-Japanese war united front, which has been stabilized with great difficulty."

At this point, Minister Yang didn't give Chu Feng a chance to speak. He said, "First, you must incorporate the land with a radius of 200 kilometers around the Laojun Temple into the Saibei Border Region, making it a special zone in the Saibei Border Region."

"Two hundred kilometers is too much. 50 kilometers, I can only take over 50 kilometers. I think 50 kilometers is enough."

"Isn't oil extraction just about drilling wells and then building factories?"

“And it cannot be included in the Saibei Border Region, but it can become a special economic zone under the jurisdiction of Gansu Province.”

"All the military and political rights here can belong to you."

After hearing what Minister Yang said, Chu Feng was dissatisfied and said, "Okay, since you said it can't be included in the Saibei Border Region, I can take a step back and become a special economic zone under the jurisdiction of Gansu Province."

"But I wanted 200 kilometers, and you cut off three-quarters of it. What can I do with 50 kilometers?"

"You said enough, and that's enough. I also said you can fly. After all, you have two arms and wings, so you can take off. Isn't that how birds fly? Then why don't you take off into the sky?"

"Not only can 50 kilometers not even cover my oil fields, it must be at least 180 kilometers!"

Minister Yang felt relieved when he heard that Chu Feng agreed to one of the contracts but wanted to negotiate on the area. He knew that Chu Feng was asking for an exorbitant price and was going to pay it back.

Still maintain a negotiating attitude, rather than being very tough and decisive.

After receiving the signal from Chu Feng, Minister Yang felt much more relaxed and began to argue with Chu Feng.

Soon, both parties reached an agreement on the first point.

The area with a radius of 150 kilometers with Laojun Temple as the center is designated as the Yumen Special District. The specific scope will be planned later.

Secondly, the Yumen Special Zone belongs to Gansu Province, but has autonomy and needs to pay 50 Saibei currency development funds to Gansu Province every year.

This can be considered a policy to appease Ganma. After all, what they are discussing now is the buying and selling of his interests and territory.

No matter how much or how little, give some first.

This is Chu Feng's attitude, which is to save each other's face and give Gan Ma a way out.

As for how to appease the government and what price it would cost, Chu Feng didn't care, because that was the government's business and had nothing to do with him.
